User Reviews

The vast majority of male viewers will find themselves squirming in discomfort throughout this documentary concerning the wonderful world of voluntary castration. Yes, fellas, there IS graphic footage of the operation, and you even get to see a lonesome post-op testicle sitting on a surgical tray. Whilst riveting in its own special way, American Eunuchs is a surprisingly clinical look at several men who have had the family jewels removed from a secure location for different reasons: one heterosexual man who seems to think he's overly aggressive, a transgendered man, and a gay man who doesn't disclose why he had the op but happily displays his collection of gelding equipment. Are you sitting comfortably?
